In On Call in the Arctic (Pegasus), Thomas J. Sims relates his incredible experience saving lives in one of the most remote outposts in North America. In order to do his job, Sims had to overcome racism, cultural prejudices, and hostility from those who would like to see him sent packing. On Call in the Arctic reveals the thrills and the terrors of frontier medicine, where Dr. Sims must rely upon his instincts, improvise, and persevere against all odds in order to help his patients on the icy shores of the Bering Sea.
